Life with the Connecticut Defenders….

The season is well underway and our team has struggled to win games. We have won a few more games as of late but our record is still far below .500. This is the first time in recent memory that I have been on a team that has struggled so bad. In the beginning we just could not score runs. But lately we have swung the bats much better which is a sign that we might be coming out of it.

It is very tough to not let the losing get you down. But every athlete must learn how to lose because at some point you will do it and you need to know how to do it correctly. You have to be able to stay positive because otherwise the negetivity bleeds into everything you do. So if everyone on the team is able to stay positive the negativity does not bring everyone down. Although easy said this is very hard to do. But judging by the way we have been winning hopefully we are becoming more positive.

P.S. Steve is one of the most positive players we’ve known….
